LEMNOS
Research campaign 2002

In ancient tradition the island Lemnos (also Limnos) was much connected with the Amazons. The ancients called this island »predominated by women«.
Aim of our exploring expedition in the year 2002 was to find prehistoric traces which may be connected with the Amazons. Many buildings and relics have been discovered and investigated in consideration of our research results on the Thermodon Amazons in northern Turkey - the legendary homeland of the Amazons.

Our investigations on Lemnos have resulted in many new insights. We have detected a lot of surprising conformity and concurrence between the Thermodon region - the famous homeland of the Amazons - and Lemnos.
